Day Nursery Owned by Busy Bees Nurseries Ltd in Angus

extra time for these transitions. As far as my youngest I cannot give the nursery staff enough credit! My youngest has a slightly complex medical history and the staff have gone above and beyond to ensure they settled in to the nursery fine and that all their needs are met! Most recent example of this is management staff personally calling ahead of pick up to inform me there is a case chicken pox been confirmed in my older child's room, as these kinds of illness can affect my younger child more harshly they wanted to give me a heads up as a precaution. All staff are very approachable and understanding. Every child matters to all staff and it can be seen!

Would highly recommend!

communication from the management team if there are any issues.

training and dropping naps. I love how much outdoor space there is, and how the children are encouraged to go outside and play. My child eats really well at nursery.
Unfortunately staff turnover has been a slight issue, with little notice (not knowing a key worker is leaving until they’ve actually finished) otherwise all positive!

well-equipped - our wee boy loves sitting in the sun and watching the cars go by!

very helpful. The children spend a lot of time in the garden playing and getting lots of fresh air. We are very happy with Busy Bees. My grandson's confidence and use of language has improved significantly in the short time he has been there. He is always busy and he loves it.

is very accomodating, very approachable and shows care and compassion not only to your child but parents too. I often see her in the room/garden playing and interacting with the children which is lovely to see. The staff in the room that care for my child are the best. Warm, engaging, informative, caring - the list can go on. The learning and facilities are great and the new app lets you see your child's day. I can go to work knowing my child is loved and safe by everyone in that nursery. Oh, and the food is amazing!

of the child. At pick up, it was difficult to get most staff to give any more information about the day than what the child had eaten. Very few activities seemed to be set up to support learning (none were being reported to us) and no anecdotes were being shared about things my child had done/said (in contrast to what had happened in the younger rooms). An online system was set up to share photos/details of the child's day, but it was rarely updated (weeks or up to a month would go by with nothing). When I received my child's learning journal when they left (after repeatedly asking for it), it only contained observations and learning support plans for one of the four years they attended.

the way it should be.

involved in managing it.

She has been there for a few months now and I could not rate the Nursery highly enough. Based in the Koala room, the Senior room Manager is both highly competent and approachable; my daughter seemed to build a relationship with her very quickly which gave me so much confidence that she was settling in well. Her key worker is also very approachable and is genuinely interested in how my daughter is doing when I drop her off. Her key worker had completed my Child’s plan in a matter of days which I found both very helpful and reassuring. Overall, my experience with this Nursery has been extremely positive and I know she is getting the level of care that I would want for her.

arrival and have been made aware of care plans and goals that they hold for him. I feel so safe and secure knowing he’s here when I am at work. The staff are fantastic and are so keen.
